Abstract in brief

  • The study found that higher fast food consumption among US people is linked to increased exposure to harmful chemicals called phthalates (DEHP and DiNP), but not to BPA.
  • Participants who ate more fast food had significantly higher levels of these chemicals in their bodies, especially if their fast food intake was around 34.9% of their total energy.
  • Fast food-derived fats and specific food groups like grains, meat, and other items were identified as possible sources of these chemical exposures.]
